Gle, and we're engaged in reasonable plots
against the Government Now the
Journal, in q moment of forgetfulness
or mental alteration superinduced 10y
excessive loyalty, tells the truth. That
this is n particularly damaging slip for
a champion OF the cause Of JOHN SHEH-
MAN to mako will be readily understood
when JoHx's political creed is recalled.
We need not go beyond the first article
OF said creed in order TO maintain
our assertion. That article reads that
anything is justifeble in law and in
morals that will keep the Democrats out
of power SHERMAN is, therefore, on
record as holding that anything is iustid-
able in law and in morals that will keep
out OF power the representatives Of a
party that furnished to the Federal army
over half million OF men, many of
whom testified their patriotism with
their blood" How does the Jourlai re-
concilc this position Of SHEEMAN's with
its claim that he is a patriot? 1t looks
as if the Journal had placed itself, its
party, and the SHERMAN boom, in pre-
dicamont.

The Columbus Ohio No'c JoloWal
one OF the most lurid and vindictiye Of
the organs Of SHERMAN and FoBAEEH,
continues TO rave over General JACEs0N's
Macon speech. TLot t'at speech was
indiscreet W. have already admitted
although there was nothing in 1t. as cx-
planned by General JAcEsoN, half SO
reprehensible as some Of tho utterances

FORAKER and SHERMAN. 1T had the viz
tue of not being a libel upon one section
Of the country for the purpose of making
political capital, and was rotin'ended TO
stir up feeling between the North and
the South. The same cannot be
said Of the speeches referred TO OF

All England Convinced shat lie ~
Very Grcnf Man.

A special dispatch from Birmingham,
Eng, says Sullivan, who came TO TINS
country great man, has been growing
steadily greater every day. Now, In tue
estimation Of millions in England who
think boxing the most beautiful OF earth
ly institutions, no one is really great but
he. The Prince Of Wales, the Sultan
of Morocco, and General Boulangcr
are not in it, Two weeks ago
Birmingham began talking Of the
man with the fearful left and
the disastrous right, whose specially
was the knocking ont Of champions, ana
since his arrival here excitement has
grown into a frenzy of reyerentlal wor-
ship. He has boxed twice, and 2O,UOQ
men have been 10 see him. nearly all OF
whom were wOrkingmen, ond each pay
ing one or more days wages tor the
privilege OF an evenings study with the
greatest master of smuggling. He has
done nothing but exhibit bis huge PINK
body and knock about with bis huge
padded fists Jack Ashton and Aft Green
field, and q sensitive mind, framed IN a
delicate body, is shocked and maryels at
the bad taste of twenty thousand.
But TO the Birmingham ir0nworker
good boxing is mans greatest achieve
ment. and Sullivan is the Michael Angelo
of the art and one who exhibits al It's
beauties in four rounds of just twelve
minutes. Foncy how long haired stu
dents in velvet jackets would rush for

SuperstittOus People in she west.


Yesterday the by no means phenome-
nal visibility OF star in daytime was
the occasion Of an immense amount Of
wild talk. At any other time Venus at
tempting to rival the sun ia her dazzling
beauty would have attracted but little
attention But because il happened Gt
time when the public mind was all
soGbed in the exciting events going on
at Chicago people gathered on the
streets and discussed the star in the
west, in many Instances with ali
the apparent interest that the shep-
herds OF the plain, Oh memorable
occasion, talked among themselves
about the meaning Of the appearance Of
the star in the east. There were those,
and not few of them, VINO SAID the star
Was Ling2's soul looking down npon
earth Others asserted that it was the
eye Of Deity resting on Chicago 10 see
that the execution OF the Anarchists was
made q complete success. And then
ggsin. because fOur white pigeons were
seen flying around over the city during
the day tie supersiitiously inclined ut
once eAociated the AigAt Of the biris
with The gailows scene at Chicago, for
Retlul OF the fact that those same white
pigeons have been 6yingovcr and around
and through 81. Paul every dag for the
last twelve months. This is, verify, o
world OF superstition.

Secretary LANAI having spoken IN his
recent New York speech Of the power OF
commercial credit, the Alexandria Ga-
aste comments as follows:
"JudQing from this expression. it is
not likely that those who favor the re-
puaia.ion of YiTmnia's debt would have
pIolted much by a delay IN the hearing
OF the Virginia h0be0S-corpUs cases
until Mr.. Lamar shall take his seat upon
the Supreme Bench"
The question is not one Of ropudietion,
but Of right and wrong. The Gazette
man might owe debts, and yet not like
for man who had no right TO 90 50 to
compel him to pay those debts. The
Court OF Queens Bench in England has
as much right to entertain q suit against
the Commonwealth OF Virginia as Judge
BOND had 10 exercise the jurisdiction he
did in the contempt cases.

WELL SAD.-The Rev. DR.. EATON
having in the religious congress in In
dianapolis objected TO newspapers that
they printed long accounts Of crimes and
said nothing of the moral hero who sat
up all night nursing his sick children,

that if the papers printed accounts Of
that kind every subscriber would come
in with n claim that he, too, lived viz

Astalistical publication recently issued
by the German Government deals with
the time OF year at which crimes are
committed. The year taken Is 1888. and
of the $50 760 crimes of all kinds COM
mitted then it is possible to fix the month
of their occurrence IL al1,4li cases.
Dividing the year into four scasons-
winter comprising December, January,
and February spring comprising March,
April, and May; summer june. 'uly,
and August; aud autumn SCI .mu,r,
October, and November it is found
that s),013 crimes fall 10 winter %, 100
to spring, 81, 2G2 10 summer, and
-, go to autumn. Thus spring is the
most favorable season tOr public morality,
and autumn the most uuiay0aule. As
to the character OF the crime, committed
it is found that in 1883 the offences
against State. religion, and public
order numbered 95 daily IN winter,
93 in spring, lob in summer, and
1916 in autumn. Here summer far
exceeded winter, as il did also IN crimes
with which violence and threats against
officials, 6c., were connected. the mum
Der for winter being 90 daily, end
for summer 1911 Oh crimes against
tle person, 81 fell to winter daily,
SO 10 spring, l02 10 summer, and l0o to
autumn Of crimes against morality I'D
fell to winter and l46 to summer; Of of
fences taking the character OF SANDER
90 fell to winter and lI9 to summer,
and Of assaults 1873 fell to winter and
213 to summer. 1t would therefore APP
pear that temperature has a sreat deal

a special gives the following particu-
lars of the dynamite explosion near
Hancock, Mich, brief mention OF which
was made in the DisDatch yesterday
This town and Houghton were startle :
iu,. before noon to-day by the sound of
what was at first believed to be the eX-
plosion Of one Of the iarge powder
houses situated just outside the town
limits. The conclusion was terrific,
shaking the town as if by an earthquake,
and at once the streets were filed with
excited people, nearly all Of whom hurried
towards the powier-houses with blanched
faces and trembling limbs. Arriving
there it was soon seen that none OF them
had blown up and the crowd separated
into small parties. who hurried from one
pant of the town to the other endeayor-
ing 30 eolve the mystery.
Across Portage lake, half mile dis
tlut, the people OF Houghton could be
seen running half frantic in all drcc-
tons and apparently rs puzzled az the
people Of Hancock to know tine origin Of
tde explosion. No one could be certain
from What direction the noise came, as it
bad been so tremendous as 10 give Que n
feeling that il had filled the air for miles
around.
4 WOMAN SOLVES THE MYSTERY.
As1 o'clock approached, however, the
wife Of William Lapp came mp to oae
group who were eycitedly discussing the
explosion and asked II any one had
thought that something might have hap

a Dangerous Panic, nut Fortunate
Escape OF GueSts.

lSy tell graph to the Dispatch,
CHcAGO. November Ia fire broke
ont Just before O'Clock this morning in
TIE LARGE seven-story Saratoga European
Hotel on Dearborn street. The electric
fre-alarm bells were at once rung
throughout the building. and IN indie
scribable panic among the guests en-
sued. Women and men fled through
the halls, down the stairway, and out
into the street clad in their
nieht-clothes. The nipht-clcrk OF the
hotel descended from the sixth
story by Il fire escape. Other inmates
tumbled over each other down the stairs
in their hurry to escape. The fire had
started in the kitchen Of the Saratoga
restaurant, on the first floor, and rapidly
spreed through the building, ascending
70 tue top at the rear by means Of the
yentilator, The night-clerk saw the
smoke, and ran into the hail and gave
the alarm. The clerk at the Wind
sor Hotel heard the cries Of fire
and sent in an alarm. Short
" after the arrival OF the first
company a second alarm was sent in.
The flames were then high above the
roof OF the seven-story structure and
threatening the Journal building to the
south and the Windsor Hotel, across the
alley, to the north. Half an hours bard
work subdued the fire sufficiently to
allow two truck companies to hoist
their ladders and make q search
OF tho rooms. 1t was at first
believed that some of the guests had
been caught in the fire, bat none were
found At 3 o'clock the fire WAS en-
tircly under control. The building is
owned by the Chambers estate and is
damaged to the extent ot perhaps
SO, 900 or $4,000. The restaurant is
gutted, and the furniture almost entirely
destroyed, entailng q loss OF mt least
5000. The damage TO the hotel furni-
ture is about $4,000.
